Now I’m teaching myself Italian, but I’m not good at it yet so how did I learn French? As you may know, Canada has two official languages, English and French. However, not all the provinces are French speaking. I grew up and went to university in English speaking parts of the country. I had regular weekly French classes in school, from kindergarten to grade ten actually, but these were too focused on grammar and sentence structures. I dropped French and grade eleven. Fast forward to my second year of university in Toronto, my best friends suggested we do an exchange year in France together and it sounded like an awesome idea. I loved the idea of moving to a foreign country to experience a new culture, so we went to Lyon for an exchange year to experience the French language and culture first hand. It was really helpful. Today, I am fully fluent in French. I work as a writer in both French and English, do professional translations and have a French partner and French friends. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 A The Astra International Picture Book Writing Contest is a unique competition open to writers for children.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章是一则关于写作大赛的须知。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“By rewarding and showing excellence in the art of picture book writing, we aim to inspire writers to focus on the picture book text as an art form in itself, and to raise the quality of these seemingly simple books for the benefit of children everywhere.(通过奖励和展示优秀的绘本写作艺术，我们的目标是激励作家关注绘本文本本身作为一种艺术形式，并提高这些看似简单的书籍的质量，造福世界各地的儿童。)”可知，该比赛的目的是鼓励作家们写出更多质量上乘的绘本。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Each winner will be required to agree that sponsors have a one-year priority option to publish their manuscript to receive the cash prize.(每位获奖者将被要求同意赞助商有一年的优先选择发表他们的手稿以获得现金奖励。)”可知，获胜者要想获得奖金，需要给赞助商一年的优先出版权。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Conditions部分中的第三点“Manuscript must be no longer than 1,000 words; (稿件不得超过1000字)”可知，原稿要在一千字以内。故选A。 B As the sun neared the horizon, Ali began his nightly walk through the sandy streets of Timbuktu in Mali. Covered in robes of indigo, he passed through the streets of Timbuktu and continued out into the sand dunes, just beyond the city’s western suburbs. Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. “I couldn’t believe the lights!” he remembered. Members of his family still live a semi-nomadic (半游牧的) existence out in the desert. But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara. His heart remained in the desert even when he had to be in the city. He refused to get a fixed-line telephone in case he came to depend upon it. When he had no clients, he would escape to the desert, spending months at a time camping out, drinking tea with friends and sleeping under the stars. As a guide, Ali made friends from around the world, and he visited some in Europe. It was, to him, an alien world, just as Timbuktu remains for many around the globe. “The first time I was in Europe, I saw water just lying on the ground. Everything moved at a speed that was unthinkable in the Sahara. I thought ‘these people are crazy’. In the desert we have infinite time but no water,” he said. “In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time.” When travelers wanted to see more of the Sahara, Ali took them to Araouane, a sand-drowned town 270 km north of Timbuktu. And yet for the tourists who visited there, the town was undoubtedly more to it than that. There was something there that produced a feeling similar to excitement. It was the awe of vast skies and big horizons. 24. What did Ali do daily when the sun would set? A. He took a night walk. B. He chatted with neighbors. C. He took a photo of the sun. D. He bought some food in a store. 25. How did Ali feel when first seeing the city? A Confused. B. Amazed. C. Frightened. D. Moved. 26. What can we learn about Ali from paragraph 2? A. He established a travel company. B. He explored the Sahara Desert on his own. C. He lived a semi-nomadic life with his wife. D. He escaped from Sahara Desert with his friends. 27. What does the underlined part “these people are crazy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. People in Europe waste so much time. B. People in Europe always let water running. C. People in Europe are curious about everything. D. People in Europe are always busy with their life. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要从主人公阿里的视觉出发，讲述了出生于沙漠的阿里走出沙漠，到达城市之后的感受。他对城市灯光感到震惊，城市里的人却通过他的旅游公司到沙漠旅游。欧洲人总是很忙的生活方式也让阿里感到很吃惊。去沙漠旅游的人有一种类似于兴奋的感觉。这是对广阔天空和广阔地平线的敬畏。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“As the sun neared the horizon, Ali began his nightly walk through the sandy streets of Timbuktu in Mali.(当太阳接近地平线时，阿里开始在马里廷巴克图的沙质街道上进行夜间散步。)”可知，当太阳下山时，阿里开始在夜间的行走。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. ‘I couldn’t believe the lights!’ he remembered.(阿里第一次看到这座后来成为他家的城市时还是个十几岁的孩子。“我简直不敢相信灯光！”他记得。)”可知，阿里第一次看到这座城市时，对城市的灯光感到惊讶，由此可推知，他第一次看到城市时应该是震惊的。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara.(但当他长大成人后，干旱和谋生的需要驱使阿里来到廷巴克图，在那里他创办了一家公司，为想探索撒哈拉沙漠的游客提供导游服务。)”可知，阿里来到城市后创办一家为想探索撒哈拉沙漠的游客提供导游服务的公司。故选A项。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。结合语境可知，后文内容是对划线句子的进一步解释，根据前文“‘In the desert we have infinite time but no water,’ he said. ‘In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time.’ (“在沙漠中，我们有无限的时间，但没有水，”他说，“在欧洲，你有足够的水，但没有时间。)”可知，对于出生于沙漠的阿里来说，他们在沙漠里的生活应该是总是要花时间寻找水源，却没有水，在欧洲，不需要花时间找水，欧洲人却没有时间，总是在忙。由此可推知，“these people are crazy”应是表达了阿里的诧异，即，“欧洲人怎么会这么忙（欧洲人总是忙于他们的生活）”。故选D项。 C Given the state’s varied geographic climates, there is usually a location with prime conditions for playing golf in California no matter what time of year you plan to visit. During winter months, you can head to the desert, where the popular golf season is November through April and where there are over 100 courses (球场) within an hour’s drive of Palm Springs. During other months, when the desert’s heat can be dull, the weather is quite likely perfect in northern California’s mountain areas (Shasta, Lake Tahoe and the northern Sierras), the San Francisco Bay Area and all along the Central Coast. Southern California’s weather is considered perfect year-round for golf. Nine California golf courses scored in Fairways and Greens magazine’s “Top 18 Courses on the West Coast” competition. There are some truly wonderful courses in the state! One course, Oak Quarry in Riverside is a great place for golfers and non-golfers and so on. Golf Digest said of the course, “This is a national park of golf, the Yosemite of the golf world… This is a course that Ansel Adams would have loved to photograph.” And, while ocean views can be quite expensive in places like Pebble Beach (with green fees around $400 and a lodge stay required to secure a tee time (开球时间) ), more reasonably priced ocean view alternatives exist at some North Coast California golf courses: try Links at Bodega Harbour and Sea Ranch Golf Links. Regardless of where you decide to play, you should book your tee times in advance. Some courses charge some dollars for reservations more than a week or two out, but it’s usually worth an extra few dollars to reserve your preferred time. 28. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. You can choose to play golf along the Central Coast in June. B. Southern California’s weather is hot and dull all the year round. C. In northern California’s mountain areas, it’s too hot to play golf in May. D. You’d better not play golf in California’s desert in November. 29. How many California golf courses are thought highly of in Fairways and Greens magazine’s competition? A. 1. B. 9. C. 18. D. 100. 30. When you book the tee time, _________. A. you need to pay $ 400 in advance B. the better priced Pebble Beach is your best choice C. you may be charged dollars for your preferred time D. you needn’t pay for booking courses at any time 31. What is the best title for this passage? A. Climate in California. B. California golf courses. C. Rules about golf. D. Charges about golf. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍加利福尼亚不同地区高尔夫球场，含适宜打球季节、著名球场及预订信息，展现其高尔夫资源丰富。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“During winter months, you can head to the desert, where the popular golf season is November through April and where there are over 100 courses (球场) within an hour’s drive of Palm Springs.During other months, when the desert’s heat can be dull, the weather is quite likely perfect in northern California’s mountain areas (Shasta, Lake Tahoe and the northern Sierras), the San Francisco Bay Area and all along the Central Coast.(在冬季，您可以前往沙漠，那里最受欢迎的高尔夫季节是11月至4月，距离棕榈泉一小时车程内有100多个球场。在其他月份，当沙漠的炎热可能令人厌烦时，北加利福尼亚山区（沙斯塔、太浩湖和北内华达山脉）、旧金山湾区以及整个中部海岸的天气很可能非常完美。)”可知，六月属于 “其他月份”，所以可以推断出在六月可以选择在中部海岸打高尔夫球。故选A 。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Nine California golf courses scored in Fairways and Greens magazine’s ‘Top 18 Courses on the West Coast’ competition.(9个加利福尼亚的高尔夫球场在《Fairways and Greens》杂志的 ‘西海岸前18名球场’比赛中得分。)”可知，有9个加利福尼亚的高尔夫球场在该杂志的比赛中受到高度评价。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some courses charge some dollars for reservations more than a week or two out, but it’s usually worth an extra few dollars to reserve your preferred time.(一些球场会对提前一两周以上的预订收取几美元的费用，但为了预订到你喜欢的时间，多花几美元通常是值得的。)”可知，当你预订开球时间时，为了预订到你喜欢的时间可能会被收取一些费用。故选C 。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了加利福尼亚不同地区的高尔夫球场，包括不同季节适合打球的区域，如冬季的沙漠、其他月份的北加利福尼亚山区、旧金山湾区、中部海岸以及全年适合的南加利福尼亚；还提到了一些著名的高尔夫球场，如在杂志比赛中得分的球场，以及不同球场的特点和预订相关信息等。所以文章主要围绕加利福尼亚的高尔夫球场展开，最佳标题应该是B项California golf courses(加利福尼亚的高尔夫球场)。故选B。 D Indeed loneliness is now widely recognized as a major public health problem. What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others. Here things get personal. I first got involved in how poetry can support our emotional wellbeing after I wrole a memoir, Black Rainbow: Hone Words Healed Me—My Journey Through Depression, in 2014 about how poetry helped me through two serious periods of depression. Since then, I’ve been running Healing Words poetry sessions for mental health charities and prisons, and have discovered first-hand the lovely feeling of companionship which poetry can bring. Poetry lets us connect with other people who have experienced similar emotions. We’re not alone in our despair or delight. When we have a poem by our side, whether tucked into a bag or on a bedside table, it feels like we’re being accompanied by a friend: an authorial arm is wrapped around our shoulders. I remember one woman starting to cry as she read Derek Walcott’s poem “Love After Love” during a workshop held at my local hospital in West London. Fighting through tears, she eventually said, “I feel understood.” Everyone in the room knew exactly what she meant. She had, in Walcott’s phrase, struggled to “love again the stranger who was yourself”. The poet’s invitation to “Sit. Feast on your life” was the comfort she needed, in a language which spoke to her, to imagine loving herself in a way she had always found hard. Poetry had worked its magic, unlocking a feeling of inner connection, and in turn a connection to all of us sitting in the workshop. Given my own experience, I think having a poem to keep us company can help us all feel a greater sense of belonging. 32. What does the author suggest doing to fight against loneliness? A. Researching the problem. B. Appreciating poetry. C. Strengthening dignity. D. Connecting with others. 33. How does having a poem at hand make you feel according to the author? A. Socially accepted. B. Literarily knowledgeable. C. Financially admired. D. Emotionally comfortable. 34. Why did the woman start to cry in the workshop? A. Because the poem touched her soul. B. Because she was forced to read the poem. C. Because she struggled to understand others. D. Because she failed to work out the poem’s magic. 35. What does the author mainly want to tell us? A. The healing power of poems cures illnesses. B. Reading can make us feel independent of others. C. Poetry can improve our emotional well-being. D. Connection leads to a great sense of belonging. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章作者通过讲述自己的经历，阐述了诗歌可以治疗孤独，提高你的情感健康。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Indeed loneliness is now widely recognized as a major public health problem. What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others. (事实上，孤独现在被广泛认为是一个主要的公共健康问题。也许不那么明显的是这个问题的一个解决办法：诗歌的治愈力量使我们感觉与他人的联系更紧密)”可知，作者认为诗歌使人们感觉与他人的联系更密切，是治愈孤独的一个解决办法。由此推知，作者建议通过欣赏诗歌对抗孤独。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Since then, I’ve been running Healing Words poetry sessions for mental health charities and prisons, and have discovered first-hand the lovely feeling of companionship which poetry can bring.(从那以后，我一直在为心理健康慈善机构和监狱举办“治愈之词”诗歌课程，并亲身体会到诗歌所能带来的友爱之情)”和第三段“Poetry lets us connect with other people who have experienced similar emotions. We’re not alone in our despair or delight. When we have a poem by our side, whether tucked into a bag or on a bedside table, it feels like we’re being accompanied by a friend: an authorial arm is wrapped around our shoulders.(诗歌让我们与其他有过相似情感的人建立联系。我们并不是唯一感到绝望或快乐的。当我们有一首诗在身边时，无论是塞在包里还是放在床头柜上，感觉就像有一位朋友陪伴着我们：作者的手臂缠绕在我们的肩膀上)”可推知，作者亲身体会到诗歌所能带来的友爱之情，手头有一首诗歌，就像是有一个朋友陪伴着自己，让我们感觉被社会所接受。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“I remember one woman starting to cry as she read Derek Walcott’s poem “Love After Love” during a workshop held at my local hospital in West London. Fighting through tears, she eventually said, “I feel understood.” Everyone in the room knew exactly what she meant.(我记得在西伦敦当地一家医院举办的研讨会上，一位女士在读德里克·沃尔科特(Derek Walcott)的诗《一次次的爱》(Love After Love)时哭了起来。她强忍着泪水，终于说：“我感到被理解了。”房间里的每个人都明白她的意思。)”可知，这位女士在读诗歌的时候哭了起来是因为她感觉被别人理解。由此可知，这首诗触动了她的心灵，让她感动。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others.(也许不那么明显的是这个问题的一个解决办法：诗歌的治愈力量使我们感觉与他人的联系更紧密)”，第二段的“I first got involved in how poetry can support our emotional wellbeing after I wrole a memoir, Black Rainbow: Hone Words Healed Me—My Journey Through Depression, in 2014 about how poetry helped me through two serious periods of depression.( 2014年，我写了一本回忆录《黑彩虹：我的话语治愈了我的抑郁之旅》(Black Rainbow: Hone Words healing me - my Journey Through Depression)，讲述了诗歌如何帮助我度过了两次严重的抑郁期，之后我第一次参与了诗歌如何支持我们情感健康的研究)”以及最后一段内容“Given my own experience, I think having a poem to keep us company can help us all feel a greater sense of belonging.( 根据我自己的经历，我认为有一首诗陪伴我们可以帮助我们都有更大的归属感)”可知，文章作者通过自己的经历讲述了诗歌如何治愈孤独，提高情感幸福的。故选C。 第二节 (每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever wondered why birds sing? _____36_____ After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. _____37_____ Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. _____38_____ A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Like us humans, your yard and house are your territory where only family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. _____39_____. Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. _____40_____ Most of their language has something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. A. The birds sing very beautifully. B. Maybe you thought they were just happy. C. The birds sing all the time to attract a mate. D. You can see that birds have a language of their own. E. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. F. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is actually enough to keep an outsider away. G. Do you know what a territory is? 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. G 39. F 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要解释了鸟类鸣叫的原因。 【36题详解】 根据前文“Have you ever wondered why birds sing?(你有没有想过鸟为什么会唱歌？)”以及后文“After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.(毕竟，当你快乐的时候，你可能会唱歌或吹口哨)”可知，前文提出问题，后文讲述你快乐的时候，你可能会唱歌，所以空处应是提到快乐，所以B项“Maybe you thought they were just happy.(也许你以为他们只是开心)”是对前文的回答，并引出下文。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.(一些科学家认为，鸟儿有时候唱歌只是因为它们很高兴)”以及后文“Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.(它们的歌声实际上是在警告其他鸟类不要进入它们的领地)”可知，科学家认为，鸟儿唱歌只是因为它们很高兴，但是其实不然，所以空处应和前文是转折关系，所以E项“However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason.(然而，它们大多数时候唱歌是为了一个非常不同的原因)”符合文意。故选E项。 【38题详解】 设空位于段首，是本段中心句，根据后文“A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome.(领地是动物（通常是雄性）宣称属于自己的一片区域。只有他和他的家人在那里受到欢迎。同物种的其他科不受欢迎)”可知，此处在介绍什么是动物领地，所以G项“Do you know what a territory is?(你知道什么是领土吗？)”符合本段主题，引出后文内容。故选G项。 【39题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not.(如果是这样的话，你实际上已经不必与对方打斗就把那个陌生人吓跑了。鸟儿也会做同样的事情。但鸟儿几乎随时都会防备着外来者，尤其是在筑巢季节。所以，无论它是否能看到外来者，都会一直尖叫。这种尖叫就是我们所说的鸟鸣，实际上，这足以把外来者吓跑)”可知，F项“This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is actually enough to keep an outsider away.(这种尖叫就是我们所说的鸟的歌声，实际上它足以让外人远离)”是对前文的总结，符合文意。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.(鸟儿在春天歌唱得最大声的时候，是它们试图吸引配偶并警告其他鸟儿不要进入它们的领地的时候)”以及后文“Most of their language has something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.(它们的大部分语言都与吸引配偶和建立领地有关)”可知，前文提到鸟儿唱歌，后文提及鸟类的语言，所以空处应是提出语言概念，所以D项“You can see that birds have a language of their own.(你可以看到鸟类有自己的语言)”符合文意，承上启下。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Once again, my mind is flooded with memories of my mother’s patient instruction for me on how to bake when I was a child.

However 59. and 60. various 61. applications 62. at 63. have been brought 64. causing 65. to think 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能的发展历程、应用领域，同时提及它带来的便利与担忧，引发对其潜在风险的思考 。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：人工智能是计算机科学的一个分支，旨在创造能够从经验中学习、适应新输入并像人类一样执行任务的智能机器。分析句子可知，这里考查非限制性定语从句。先行词是intelligent machines，指物，在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：在20世纪40年代，计算机的发展使人工智能成为了现实。这里考查in the 1940s，是固定搭配，表示“在20世纪40年代”。故填the。 【58题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在很长一段时间里，人工智能技术发展得非常缓慢。前文提到计算机发展使人工智能成为现实，后文说其发展缓慢，前后是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以用however，且句首时首字母应大写。故填However。 【59题详解】 考查连词。句意：1997年，“Deep Blue”击败了世界国际象棋冠军加里・卡斯帕罗夫，这标志着人工智能领域的一个新突破。Deep Blue beat the world chess champion Garry Kasparov和it marked a new breakthrough in artificial intelligence是两个并列的句子，且为顺承关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。 【60题详解】 考查形容词。句意：人工智能现在被应用于各个领域，如金融、医疗保健、机器翻译和艺术。空后是名词fields，应用形容词修饰名词，vary的形容词形式是 various，意为“各种各样的”。故填various。 【61题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：事实上，人工智能的应用是无限的。根据空后的谓语动词are可知，主语应用复数形式，apply的名词形式是application，其复数是applications。故填applications。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：很明显，我们正处于历史的一个转折点。这里考查at a turning point，是固定搭配，意为“在一个转折点”。故填at。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：然而，在过去的几十年里，人工智能在带来极大便利的同时，也给我们带来了许多担忧。这里考查谓语动词，根据时间状语in the past decades可知，句子应用现在完成时，且主语many worries和动词bring之间是被动关系，所以用现在完成时的被动语态，其结构为“have/has been + 过去分词”，主语是复数，助动词用have。故have been brought。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：包括一些科学家在内的许多人担心人工智能可能会被犯罪分子滥用，从而导致恐慌和社会不稳定。分析句子可知，这里考查非谓语，“_____ (cause) panic and social instability”在句中作结果状语，AI might be abused by criminals和cause panic and social instability之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词作结果状语。故填causing。 65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：所以研究人员在做研究时被敦促要考虑人工智能可能给我们带来的所有潜在危险。这里考查urge sb. to do sth.，是固定短语，意为“敦促某人做某事”，其被动形式为sb. be urged to do sth.，所以此处用动词不定式to think。故填to think 第四部分 写作（满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 66. 当你得知美国外教Jack用西医治疗自己的头痛效果不佳时，你给他写了一封电子邮件，推荐中医治疗。 内容包括：①中医的特点；②祝愿他早日康复。 注意： 1．词数80词左右，信的开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 2．参考词汇：按摩 massage 针灸 acupuncture 处方 prescription Dear Jack, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours , Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack , I am sorry to know you are being troubled by headache but cannot recover after taking the medicine.Therefore, I am writing to recommend you to have a try on traditional Chinese treatment.

At first, I thought someone had died, because I had never seen my parents look so sad. My brothers and I stood waiting for the awful news. Mom hugged me as she murmured, “Christmas is going to be different this year. We won't be having a tree or presents. We can barely afford food.”Dad, resting on the couch, beckoned (招手示意) the boys into his arms.“Things will change when I get back to work.” My family was poorer than dirt. Dad, the only bread-earner in our family, worked in a coal mine. However, soon after returning to work at the end of a long strike, Dad was hurt in a rock fall that broke bones in his foot. Lying on the couch with the swollen foot high on pillows, he didn't talk or smile much. There was little to smile about. No work, no income. At nine years old, I mothered my younger brothers: Rodney, aged six, and Stevie, three. We shared a small bedroom. That night, after our parents’ announcement, we talked. Rodney began. “Em, did you see how sad Mommy and Daddy looked? I thought Mommy was gonna cry. “Me, too. Daddy's foot’s … this big” whispered Stevie, holding out his arms. “Yeah..We're in hard times," I said.“It makes Mommy and Daddy sad." “But we don't have to be sad," I added, hoping to brighten the mood. “Since there are still several weeks to go, maybe we can do something to cheer them up," I said with overdone enthusiasm. The boys proposed, “We can take the money from our piggy bank...earn some more..and surprise them with gifts!" “I can run errands(跑腿) for Aunt Em and neighbors to earn money," I offered. “Yeah," Rodney added, “I and Stevie can return bottles and save the deposit money... instead of buying candy!" He pushed Stevie gently with his elbow. “Yeah!”Stevie clutched his hands together. We had a plan! Until they nodded off, I coached my little brothers (especially Stevie) in ways to guard our secret. “Don't talk about it during the day." 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We awoke in the morning, transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 We awoke in the morning，transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! The following weeks saw me dashing home from school each day determined to earn a penny. I was usually greeted by secret winks and grins- one with a missing tooth, and the other with tiny, straight teeth- both assuring me our secret was safe. A few days before Christmas, we gleefully went shopping. We bought Mom a new apron, and for Dad, a pair of leather slippers. The night of Christmas Eve seemed endless. I awoke occasionally, or one of my brothers woke me asking, “How long till daylight?” On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. Surprised and stunned, they showered us with tons of confusing questions. “How did you..?” “Where did you..?” “Who gave you...?"" As we explained how we'd schemed, earned and saved our money, their faces relaxed into expressions of astonishment. Then, with glistening tears, Mom and Dad wrapped us three into their arms. On this special Christmas morning, with the five of us hugging, talking, laughing and listening with fresh affection and gratitude, I understood that rich or poor, we would keep together and be happy in one another. 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章以故事发展为线索，作者的爸爸是家里唯一的收入来源，在爸爸受伤无法工作后，作者家里变得十分贫困，没有钱买圣诞礼物，作者和弟弟们商量后决定瞒着父母一起出去赚钱来给爸妈准备圣诞礼物，让爸妈开心起来的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们早上醒来，从悲伤的孩子变成了执行重要任务的特工!”可知，第一段可以描写如何秘密的执行任务，通过赚的钱给爸爸妈妈准备圣诞礼物，以及等待送礼物前激动的心情。 ②由第二段首句内容“圣诞节的早晨，我们匆匆走进客厅，把礼物递给了爸爸妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写爸爸妈妈收到礼物时的惊讶，然后解释如何准备礼物的过程，最终大家开开心心地度过了一个难忘的圣诞节。最后升华主题，无论贫穷，只要有爱，一家人在一起就是幸福。 2.续写线索：保密筹钱——准备礼物——激动心情——赠送礼物——解释原因——开心过节——感悟人生 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：determine to do/decide to do ②冲回家：dash home/rush home/hurry home 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised/stunned ②开心地：gleefully/delightedly/happily 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Covered in robes of indigo, he passed through the streets of Timbuktu and continued out into the sand dunes, just beyond the city’s western suburbs. Ali was a teenager when he first saw the city that would later become his home. “I couldn’t believe the lights!” he remembered. Members of his family still live a semi-nomadic (半游牧的) existence out in the desert. But when he became an adult, drought and the need to earn a living drove Ali into Timbuktu, where he set up a business as a guide for tourists who wanted to explore the Sahara. His heart remained in the desert even when he had to be in the city. He refused to get a fixed-line telephone in case he came to depend upon it. When he had no clients, he would escape to the desert, spending months at a time camping out, drinking tea with friends and sleeping under the stars. As a guide, Ali made friends from around the world, and he visited some in Europe. It was, to him, an alien world, just as Timbuktu remains for many around the globe. “The first time I was in Europe, I saw water just lying on the ground. Everything moved at a speed that was unthinkable in the Sahara. I thought ‘these people are crazy’. In the desert we have infinite time but no water,” he said. “In Europe, you have plenty of water but no time.” When travelers wanted to see more of the Sahara, Ali took them to Araouane, a sand-drowned town 270 km north of Timbuktu. And yet for the tourists who visited there, the town was undoubtedly more to it than that. There was something there that produced a feeling similar to excitement. It was the awe of vast skies and big horizons. 24. What did Ali do daily when the sun would set? A. He took a night walk. B. He chatted with neighbors. C. He took a photo of the sun. D. He bought some food in a store. 25. How did Ali feel when first seeing the city? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Frightened. D. Moved. 26. What can we learn about Ali from paragraph 2? A. He established a travel company. B. He explored the Sahara Desert on his own. C. He lived a semi-nomadic life with his wife. D. He escaped from Sahara Desert with his friends. 27. What does the underlined part “these people are crazy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. People in Europe waste so much time. B. People in Europe always let water running. C. People in Europe are curious about everything. D. People in Europe are always busy with their life. C Given the state’s varied geographic climates, there is usually a location with prime conditions for playing golf in California no matter what time of year you plan to visit. During winter months, you can head to the desert, where the popular golf season is November through April and where there are over 100 courses (球场) within an hour’s drive of Palm Springs. During other months, when the desert’s heat can be dull, the weather is quite likely perfect in northern California’s mountain areas (Shasta, Lake Tahoe and the northern Sierras), the San Francisco Bay Area and all along the Central Coast. Southern California’s weather is considered perfect year-round for golf. Nine California golf courses scored in Fairways and Greens magazine’s “Top 18 Courses on the West Coast” competition. There are some truly wonderful courses in the state! One course, Oak Quarry in Riverside is a great place for golfers and non-golfers and so on. Golf Digest said of the course, “This is a national park of golf, the Yosemite of the golf world… This is a course that Ansel Adams would have loved to photograph.” And, while ocean views can be quite expensive in places like Pebble Beach (with green fees around $400 and a lodge stay required to secure a tee time (开球时间) ), more reasonably priced ocean view alternatives exist at some North Coast California golf courses: try Links at Bodega Harbour and Sea Ranch Golf Links. Regardless of where you decide to play, you should book your tee times in advance. Some courses charge some dollars for reservations more than a week or two out, but it’s usually worth an extra few dollars to reserve your preferred time. 28. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. You can choose to play golf along the Central Coast in June. B. Southern California’s weather is hot and dull all the year round. C. In northern California’s mountain areas, it’s too hot to play golf in May. D. You’d better not play golf in California’s desert in November. 29. How many California golf courses are thought highly of in Fairways and Greens magazine’s competition? A. 1. B. 9. C. 18. D. 100. 30. When you book the tee time, _________. A. you need to pay $ 400 in advance B. the better priced Pebble Beach is your best choice C. you may be charged dollars for your preferred time D. you needn’t pay for booking courses at any time 31. What is the best title for this passage? A. Climate in California. B. California golf courses. C. Rules about golf. D. Charges about golf. D Indeed loneliness is now widely recognized as a major public health problem. What is perhaps less obvious is one answer to the problem: the healing power of poetry to make us feel more connected to others. Here things get personal. I first got involved in how poetry can support our emotional wellbeing after I wrole a memoir, Black Rainbow: Hone Words Healed Me—My Journey Through Depression, in 2014 about how poetry helped me through two serious periods of depression. Since then, I’ve been running Healing Words poetry sessions for mental health charities and prisons, and have discovered first-hand the lovely feeling of companionship which poetry can bring. Poetry lets us connect with other people who have experienced similar emotions. We’re not alone in our despair or delight. When we have a poem by our side, whether tucked into a bag or on a bedside table, it feels like we’re being accompanied by a friend: an authorial arm is wrapped around our shoulders. I remember one woman starting to cry as she read Derek Walcott’s poem “Love After Love” during a workshop held at my local hospital in West London. Fighting through tears, she eventually said, “I feel understood.” Everyone in the room knew exactly what she meant. She had, in Walcott’s phrase, struggled to “love again the stranger who was yourself”. The poet’s invitation to “Sit. Feast on your life” was the comfort she needed, in a language which spoke to her, to imagine loving herself in a way she had always found hard. Poetry had worked its magic, unlocking a feeling of inner connection, and in turn a connection to all of us sitting in the workshop. Given my own experience, I think having a poem to keep us company can help us all feel a greater sense of belonging. 32. What does the author suggest doing to fight against loneliness? A. Researching the problem. B. Appreciating poetry. C. Strengthening dignity. D. Connecting with others. 33. How does having a poem at hand make you feel according to the author? A. Socially accepted. B. Literarily knowledgeable. C. Financially admired. D. Emotionally comfortable. 34. Why did the woman start to cry in the workshop? A. Because the poem touched her soul. B. Because she was forced to read the poem. C. Because she struggled to understand others. D. Because she failed to work out the poem’s magic. 35. What does the author mainly want to tell us? A. The healing power of poems cures illnesses. B. Reading can make us feel independent of others. C. Poetry can improve our emotional well-being. D. Connection leads to a great sense of belonging. 第二节 (每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever wondered why birds sing? _____36_____ After all, you probably sing or whistle when you are happy. Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. _____37_____ Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory. _____38_____ A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Like us humans, your yard and house are your territory where only family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away. If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. _____39_____. Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs. _____40_____ Most of their language has something to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. A The birds sing very beautifully. B. Maybe you thought they were just happy. C. The birds sing all the time to attract a mate. D. You can see that birds have a language of their own. E. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. F. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is actually enough to keep an outsider away. G. Do you know what a territory is? 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 (共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Once again, my mind is flooded with memories of my mother’s patient instruction for me on how to bake when I was a child.

At first, I thought someone had died, because I had never seen my parents look so sad. My brothers and I stood waiting for the awful news. Mom hugged me as she murmured “Christmas is going to be different this year. We won't be having a tree or presents. We can barely afford food.”Dad, resting on the couch, beckoned (招手示意) the boys into his arms.“Things will change when I get back to work.” My family was poorer than dirt. Dad, the only bread-earner in our family, worked in a coal mine. However, soon after returning to work at the end of a long strike, Dad was hurt in a rock fall that broke bones in his foot. Lying on the couch with the swollen foot high on pillows, he didn't talk or smile much. There was little to smile about. No work, no income. At nine years old, I mothered my younger brothers: Rodney, aged six, and Stevie, three. We shared a small bedroom. That night, after our parents’ announcement, we talked. Rodney began. “Em, did you see how sad Mommy and Daddy looked? I thought Mommy was gonna cry. “Me, too. Daddy's foot’s … this big” whispered Stevie, holding out his arms. “Yeah..We're in hard times," I said.“It makes Mommy and Daddy sad." “But we don't have to be sad," I added, hoping to brighten the mood. “Since there are still several weeks to go, maybe we can do something to cheer them up," I said with overdone enthusiasm. The boys proposed, “We can take the money from our piggy bank...earn some more..and surprise them with gifts!" “I can run errands(跑腿) for Aunt Em and neighbors to earn money," I offered. “Yeah," Rodney added, “I and Stevie can return bottles and save the deposit money... instead of buying candy!" He pushed Stevie gently with his elbow. “Yeah!”Stevie clutched his hands together. We had a plan! Until they nodded off, I coached my little brothers (especially Stevie) in ways to guard our secret. “Don't talk about it during the day." 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 We awoke in the morning, transforming from sad children to the secret agents on an important mission! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Christmas morning, we hurried into the living room and handed the gifts to Mommy and Daddy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
